Pueblo Park exploration

I WAS getting bored with walking 10 laps around our condo complex, so today I decided to explore a new park. I put my favorite walking clothes on, put on some sunblock and off I went to Pueblo Park in the Las Vegas Summerlin area.

The park entrance is located along Lake Mead Avenue about 200 meters from the cross street Buffalo Drive. There was more than enough parking when I got there. A couple was walking their little poodle. I really didn't know what to expect. I had no idea how large the park was nor how long it took to walk the loop.

I was disappointed to not find any park maps, but I did like that the park was clean, accessible, not crowded and not to isolated either. It was a nice day, not too warm and large cumulus clouds provided a nice shade. There were working water fountains and clean restrooms. Dog poo stations were abundant and stocked with plastic bags.

The whole loop took 1.3 hours to finish. I saw many, many little squirrels. They were so tiny I thought they were frogs. Not a few of them were sucking on the tiny water spouts sticking out of the ground. There were road runners, other birds I could not identify and lots of rabbits.

On the trail were leisure cyclists, none of them wearing helmets, hmmmm. People walking along or with a friend or with kids. Lots of dog walkers. But not so much that the trail felt crowded. The trail is punctuated by a street so I had to cross it to walk the rest of the trail. After a mile, there is a stretching station with various steel structures where you could do chin-ups or pull-ups on. I tried to use them but my arms aren't strong enough yet!

Anyhoo, I really like this trail and I will likely return next weekend or sooner. I am also enthused to explore other parks. I'm quite excited!
